Washington C. H. Ohio on September 18 reports Prosecutor Paxson rejected the depositors committee recommendation to retain Joseph McGhee of Columbus former Ohio Attorney General to aid Fayette County officials in a grand jury investigation of the defunct bank.

Burke with members Stanley Hagerty Emmit Pass and A B La Fon, a banker with Fayette County holdings.
